1v1 Possession & Recovery | Two Mini-Goal Targets

Overview

• Run it with 4 players
• Tight 15m x 15m grid
• Split into attackers and defenders for 1v1
• The player on the ball reads it fast and goes to score

Objectives

• Sharpen quick reactions and decision-making
• Clean passing in a tight space
• Defensive positioning
• Flip from attack to defense in a heartbeat
• Build a competitive edge while polishing individual technique

Setup

The attacker keeps the ball on the move around the grid, while the defender works the edges to protect two mini-goals. The attacker reads it in an instant, picks which mini-goal to go at, and scores with an accurate pass or shot. The defender reads where the attacker is, reacts fast, and either cuts out the pass or blocks the shot in front.

１）Split the 4 players into 2 groups and rotate attacker and defender

２）Ball start: the attacker keeps possession on the move around the grid

３）The defender reacts instantly from a position around the grid

４）Score and you swap roles. Miss and it’s a turnover

５）Tally the goals after a set number of turns
